A special needs teacher, someone many
parents trusted with their children, has allegedly threatened to send
someone to rape a four year old child - while he watched.
I know I'm posting some strong news stories here; the last thing I want
to do is offend. We are living in a day that is very different from
when we were kids in public school. Read my post under this one to get
a detailed eye-full of what's happening across the country, but also in
Canada and Australia and the UK. Kids are being placed under teachers
and adminstrators for hours and hours at a time - apart from their
parents - their true protectors. What looks nice, calm and kind on the
outside isn't always so. A special needs teacher?
GUILTY PLEA:
WHEN teacher Mark Andrew Hayes answered a call at lunchtime to attend the principal's office, he was met by two detectives and his boss.
"We're
here to speak to you about a relationship with one of your students,"
Detective Sergeant Scott Poynder told Hayes, then 38, a teacher with 16
years' experience.
The two officers were at the outer-eastern
Melbourne secondary college for more than two hours on November 9 last
year with a colleague from a sexual offences and child abuse unit.
They
had already spoken with a 15-year-old female student, whom police would
later learn Hayes called his "s***, h** schoolgirl".
Parents:
God gave them to you; they're yours. You are called to protect
(shelter) them. To teach them. To train them up in a way they should go
(is their very salvation not reason enough to put in the effort to be
an involved, principled parent?). There are some wonderful, godly
teachers in the public school system. To those teachers, I say, "PLEASE
STAY WHERE YOU ARE. You are salt and
light in a dead, hellish system. God bless you for being willing to
remain on the front lines, taking the abuses that you do in the name of
Christ, whom you serve."
To parents Paul and I would have to say, "Keep them home where
they belong." Spread the word to others about what is going on - don't
be ashamed. Bring the light out from behind the bush. Pastors, tell
your congregations the truth. You will be blessed by God, and so will
others because of your willingness to speak the truth.
